In this by-place of nature there abode, in a remote period of American history, that is to say, some thirty years since, a worthy wight of the name of Ichabod Crane, who sojourned, or, as he expressed it, "tarried," in Sleepy Hollow, More...

To the Editor: As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas the blood supply is always at risk. This year, with two types of flu to deal with, it is even more urgent that all eligible people between the ages of 16 and 75 consider donating. More...

To the Editor: We love Philipstown for its people, its beauty, and its good heart. The vigorous process of democracy that goes on here is one of Philipstown's strengths because we're small enough to engage first-hand in our local government. More...

To the Editor: After reading 'PV school board questions new library' and my blood pressure started to return to normal I could not help but wonder what makes anyone think - educator, parent, or citizen—that a multimillion dollar HS/MS conn More...

To the Editor: Lisa Brown ("If You Like Freedom, Pay Attention to Zoning Changes, PCN&R 10/7/09") appears to be alarmed by discussions about the new zoning laws, a draft of which is now under review by the Town Board. More...

To the Editor: It is always dispiriting when candidates for public office choose to put attacks on their opponents ahead of solutions that can move a community forward together. Sadly, this seems to be the direction Joselle Cunane wants to go. More...

To the Editor: After completely reading the Comprehensive plan, the EAF, and the Philipstown Zoning Law draft a few times, consulting with many experts, speaking to many of our elected officials, and speaking to over 200 property owners, many thi More...

To the Editor: It seems to me that we have a crime wave in Putnam County. At least that's what Kevin McConville wants you to think. And worse yet, you WILL be the next victim! Or that what they want you to believe. More...
